Ah summer again soon, now we play the fun game 'what shoes can I wear that keep me cool without slipping and breaking my neck'

[matchanlattes]

hands: *not sweaty*

me: is this what it’s like? 

me: to live a normal life?

me: to be free of your burdens?

[hyperhidrosisproblems]

Hyperhidrosis affects every little aspect of my life. It affects what clothes I wear, what shoes I wear, what jobs I can have, my personality (I’m very closed off to people because of it), my hobbies (I love drawing and playing music but it’s hard with sweaty hands), using touch screens, how I act and what I can do in public. It’s very hard, so please don’t think “it’s just a little sweat, how hard can it be?”

Been a good few sweat days- thinks to myself what is going on this is strange?

[myhyperhidrosislife-blog]

Idk if it's just me but I get really badly athletes foot from where my feet sweat loads and I hate it when people say things like "oh yeah you get that from bad hygiene" and I'm sat there thinking "you know nothing". I hate that people always assume without really knowing

When you forget to take your medication before the exam and suddenly remember and have a little freak out about how the hell you're going to write

[myhyperhidrosislife-blog]

When you have a job that has a touch screen till- good choice there well done me

The anxiety diet: when you're so anxious you can't eat causing you to accidentally lose weight

[myhyperhidrosislife-blog]

The anxiety I feel before work every Saturday is so ridiculous I don't even know why it gets so extreme.

Shout out to those of you with HH who aren’t loving the start of summer.. We can get through it! *damp high-five*

We spend so much time hating ourselves because of a little thing that makes us sweat too much that we can't control. We're our own worst enemy. Imagine if instead we didn't hate ourselves and just accepted this is the way we are.

[myhyperhidrosislife-blog]

The best way I’ve found to deal with hyperhidrosis is to think “okay I have this condition and crying about it and letting it stop me doing things isn’t going to change that. Therefore I may as well accept it and do all the things I want to do regardless."

[myhyperhidrosislife-blog]

The day doctors tell you there's no treatment left to try after everything has failed has got to be the worst no matter what the condition or illness is

[caringcoffeechats]

As people who freak out a lot, we tend to think that all anxiety will lead to disaster. But sometimes it’s okay to be afraid. Sometimes it’s normal. It’s about whether or not you let the fear take complete control. It’s a good sign if you can still do things despite the fear. Give yourself credit when you can face anxiety head on. That being said, you are not a failure when anxiety overpowers you. You are simply human; you can’t win every fight.

Sometimes I won't sweat and I always think yay maybe I'm miraculously cured and then a bit later it'll start again and be a free case of welcome back to the land of hh it's such fun!!
